Graceful: The list of symptoms that could potentially be associated with PAWS is almost limitless. I know many people have mentioned having issues like you mention with speech during recovery, I know I have. Having said that, it can also be symptom of many other things.
Your best bet is to address the things you can - diet, exercise, getting adequate sleep, cutting out things that seem to make it worse ( caffeine, sugar, ) etc. It's important to remember that PAWS is not a disease within itself, but a wide array/collection of possible symptoms common to addicts in recovery. And if any of those symptoms become too debilitating, it's best to see a doctor or counselor to look into that specific issue for a solution.
